Churnkey uses AI-powered intelligent categorization to automatically classify cancellation reasons into structured categories such as Pricing & Value, Product & Features, Usage & Engagement, and Competition & Alternatives. Open-text responses are analyzed using sentiment analysis and natural language processing to extract themes, so every piece of feedback is actionable without manual review. ### Can I see trends over time? Yes. Cancellation Insights includes real-time trend analysis dashboards that let you track cancellation reasons over any time period. You can identify emerging patterns, spot seasonal trends, compare cohort behavior, and receive automated alerts when there are spikes or significant changes in cancellation patterns. ### How does this integrate with cancel flows? Cancellation Insights is tightly integrated with Churnkey's Cancel Flows. Exit surveys are embedded directly in the cancellation experience, and the data collected drives dynamic surveys based on customer segments, conditional offers based on feedback, routing to appropriate save attempts, and automated follow-up actions based on responses. ### What predictive insights are available? Churnkey's predictive insights include early warning indicators that flag at-risk customers, risk scoring based on behavior and engagement patterns, churn probability estimates, and intervention recommendations. These models help your team act proactively rather than reactively, reducing preventable churn before it happens. ### Can I export the data? Yes. All cancellation insights data is fully exportable. You can generate custom reports with configurable date ranges, segment filters, and cohort comparisons. Reports can be exported for use in external analytics tools, shared with stakeholders, or integrated into your existing business intelligence workflows. ## Related - [Cancel Flows](/feature/cancel-flows.html.md) — Reduce voluntary cancellations up to 54% with personalized retention flows. - [Feedback AI](/feature/customer-insights-ai.html.md) — AI-powered analysis of customer feedback and sentiment across all touchpoints. - [Customer Health](/feature/customer-health.html.md) — Monitor account health scores to predict and prevent churn. - [Customer Segmentation](/feature/customer-segmentation.html.md) — Segment customers for targeted retention and insights. - [Dynamic Offers](/feature/dynamic-offers.html.md) — Deliver personalized retention offers informed by cancellation data.
